“Goodbye masks!” – Hungary lifts most restrictions
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a radio interview on Friday that “we’ve basically defeated the third wave” of the coronavirus, and that a number of remaining restrictions would be lifted once five million people have been vaccinated.
Outstanding restrictions lifted include the night-time curfew, the mandatory closing time of restaurants and shops, wearing masks in public spaces, as well as the ban on outdoor individual and team sports.
Further, up to 50 people can attend private and family events, while up to 200 people can attend weddings.
Hotel and restaurant managers must make sure guests are separated, while up to 500 people can attend outdoor events, including meetings.

WHEN – is the commencement date of Immunization on- US – who are Residence Permit Card Holders ?
We are registered for over (3) three weeks on the applicable Hungarian Government site.
Acknowledgement received from the Government site of our registration.
Hungarian Government stated that from mid May – ALL foreign residence facilities would be available to commence their Immunization.
We are PAST mid May.
What is the HOLD up ?
It is frustrating, disappointing and annoying – this “on off” arrangement, that appears the case on Foreign Residence Immunization procedures.
Editor – use your position and contacts – and PLEASE get us an ANSWER.
What is going on ?
I have also been waiting for over a month now, after registration, for news about this vaccination. I am getting really stressed as I need to go abroad soon. I am wondering whether to get on a flight with just the PCR test and have the whole vaccination procedure done in my home country, even although it might be risky to travel as I am sixty six years old. But then, if I wait too long here, the Governments might introduce the mandatory travel vaccination pass for which I wont be eligible. However, I am pretty sure that the Ambassadors have not had to wait so long for their jabs. Very disappointed in my beloved Hungary.
